Unrealistic expectations lead to unrealised happiness. Think about what you want from life and deeply question why you want it. Get rid of the noise and settle on a few meaningful goals… then chase it with all your vigour!

Stay in good shape, because it’s so much more fun to experience life in a body you like.

Your life has seasons; growth, maintenance, and sometimes damage limitation. Understanding and accepting this helps you direct your energy in the right way, and you sleep better at night.

The truth is, some people are simply selfish and self-centred. And you are not going to change that. Respect yourself enough to choose better people to be around. There are plenty of honest, positive, well rounded people. You just need to make space for them.

If you’re not able to explain in simple words why you do what you do, and what your plan is get to where you want to be, you will stay “unlucky” your whole life. Life rewards people with clarity and vision.

Obsession with status and wealth makes you easy to manipulate. Throw in some titles or big numbers, and it’s hard not to lose yourself in the mindless chase. The more you understand what you really want, the more you are actually free.

People focus on building their reputation when really they need to focus on their character. Your reputation is based on who you are in front of people while your character is based on the decisions you make regardless of who’s watching.

No one has time to think about you, if they do it’s for a fleeting moment, then they go right back to the centre of their world - themselves. Go take risks, shamelessly make a ton of mistakes and build the life you want.

A real superpower is being able to find and accept hard truths faster than most people do. You look for the reality of a situation rather than the glossed over version You question the stories you tell yourself about your life, and ask - Well what if that isn't the whole truth?

The plans you make naturally get beaten up by life. It happens to everybody. You'll start to get anxious as your reality gets further from those plans. Every so often, press the reset button, review the plan, focus on inputs, regain trust in your word. Simplifying is key.

When you don’t need to hide your mistakes, lie about your intentions, or play up to a character, you finally become free. Most people don’t live like this. They think they are fooling everyone to fit in or get ahead, but really they are just fooling themselves.

Those who are truly self aware are hardest to offend. You can rarely tell them something which they haven’t already questioned about themselves. Offence is usually felt when your beliefs and your truth has some distance.

The more you travel, the more you discover what you really want, instead of what your upbringing made you want. The further you travel, the more unfamiliar the culture and opportunity to contrast with your own.

It's rarely a lack of intelligence that's your obstacle, it’s a lack of courage. Just look around, most people aren’t particularly smart yet a lot of them are happily living the life they wanted. They weren’t overthinking every small decision, they weren’t scared.

People who genuinely think and care about you are very rare. Most people’s thoughts about you are usually only in connection with their own life. Those concerned with your struggles and your desires are your inner circle. Be very precious with your inner circle.

You might think life will gets better when you become the person you always wanted to be. In reality it gets better sooner than that. It gets better when you start to consistently act like the kinda person you want to be.

If you look for something to complain about, you will find it. If you look for something to be grateful for, you will find it. Most people have their share of good and bad luck. You choose where you want to put your emphasis.

Your career path isn't supposed to be a straight line. At times, you'll wonder if you really enjoy what you do. You'll experiment with new things that may lead you to a whole new life. As the world evolves, you’ll unlearn and relearn most of your skills. ...It's an adventure.

Countless dreams are killed with the fear of judgement from people who don’t even care. Success comes to those who can gather courage after failing, without fear of judgement, faster than others.

Earn your pleasures. You’ll enjoy them that much more.
